about

12. Tikkun Olam ©2009: In Judaism a very important tradition is called “Tikkun Olam,” which means “repairing the world.” This song was written for my 2009 fourth-grade class. Not only did they perform it in both Hebrew and English, they also created an amazing boom-whacker accompaniment. Contact me if you are interested in learning how to play this song with boom-whackers. And think of other ways that you can help change the world!

lyrics

12. Tikkun Olam! תיקון עולם, words and music by Joanie Calem © 2009

Chorus:
When we work (work, work) together, We can change (change, change) the world
Kulanu (anu, anu) b’yachad, Netaken (ken, ken) ta’olam
נתקן (כן, כן) ת'עולם , כולנו (אנו, אנו) ביחד
(Sing twice each time!)

Well the world needs our help, and we might as well start right now
Let’s work together for peace, we’ll show everybody how……..Chorus

Ha’Olam zakuk lanu העולם זקוק לנו , and we might as well start right now
Let’s work together to feed the hungry, we’ll show everybody how……..Chorus

Change begins with us, and we might as well start right now
Let’s work together to help the sick, we’ll show everybody how……..

Bridge:
We can fix our world, there’s so much to do. Roll our sleeves up and get started, the world will thank you!
Tikkun olam, Yesh kol kach harbe la’asot, Bo’u v’netchil, Ein Siba lichakot
תיקון עולם, יש כל כך הרבה לעשות, בואו ונתחיל אין סיבה לחכות
Last chorus:
When we work (work, work) together, We can change (change, change) the world
Kulanu (anu, anu) b’yachad, Netaken (ken, ken) ta’olam
נתקן (כן, כן) ת'עולם , כולנו (אנו, אנו) ביחד
נתקן (כן, כן) ת'עולם, כולנו (אנו, אנו) ביחד
